Can't remember my number but I went in. Did my hitch and got out. Enjoying the perks of being a Vietnam era ver. No worries! I didn't have bone spurs!!

Spot on. Perfect scene. Mini film.

Crazy they added a jolly Christmas commercial in the middle of the draft to try to calm the nerves 😭5:23

In 1971 my number (Jan 25th) was 002. When I went for my physical I found out I had high blood pressure. That on top of being born with asthma made me 4y, not 4F. Which meant I didn't have to fight unless they invaded Phoenix. I also was charged with having to take care of all those lonely girlfriends and wives whose men had to go fight. I did my best. I should have gotten a purple heart for that...at least a purple d**k.

Quite a few movie and TV actors joined the National Guard to avoid the draft.. BTW, I drew a 347.

The irony of interrupting Mayberry RFD

Only a coward turns his back on defending his country.

I was #342 (April 26). The only lottery I ever won!

My number was 128. My younger brothers was 052. He went and enlisted.

I was only 7 years old when this was televised, but I still remember watching it.

I think they should do this every 2 years. Some boys would maybe grow up and except reality of patriotism

18 that day was 1a but got a 300 something number but being a army air force brat I was in no hurry to get involved in military life

If Donald wins.....wonder if this will happen again...think about it!

My number was 51. I knew someone on the draft board and he told me I was getting drafted. I ended up joining instead. (U.S. Marines 70-71)

Those officials look like they just escaped from the convalescent home.

If WW III happens…. Could come back. Probably wouldn’t matter if you’re fat or out of shape, if you’re medically able and under a certain age ….off you go.

221

I was one of the first on the list , fortunately i was only five years old

I would've been Number 13

It's a draft it's as fair as it can be

Joe Biden got 7 years of draft deferments. 4 for four his bachelors degree, and 3 more for law school. If he had just made himself available after 4 years, in 1964, he might have been found unneeded (Congress cut the size of the Army in 1964), medically disqualified for either his ‘stuttering’ or ‘teenage asthma,’ or just done his 18-24 months and gotten out before Democratic President Lyndon John switched from sending a few thousand advisors advisors to sending half a million troops to Vietnam.

After the new bill was introduced not too long ago, this may very well become a reality once again.

Fun fact: The drawing was on December 1st which got drafted. Worst birthday gift ever.

I was May 19th, i don't know what to make of it

A real life version of the Hunger Games

1:17 I got called this legit made my skin crawl.

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady - 😊❤ Oh dear. Seemingly another is lost to us too. 74,000,001.😊 The Wooden TOPPS flagged too😮 . He lost the 2020 Presidential Election. Via Trump's winner little weiner energy Mark Levin doesn't believe he former POTUS 45 lost RE-ELECTION is what we they the bully pulpit bull terriers are going with? I am stocking up. Enough?😅😅

9/18 would never have had to go at all if you share this birthday. Though wasn't born till the early '70s.

And a few episodes later Sam defends her after 2 staffers trashed her.

This is the manner, in which, humans should interact with one another. With Purpose, character and true is a good way to be.

007 😬, thank god i was born in the 90s.

Born june 19th, My number was 104. I'd be the rooster the cong would try & snuff.

ITN news intro lol

"Ginger, get the popcorn!" was the West Wing's salute to, "Devon! Get the tables!"

008-Sept 7, my eight month old son’s birthday, he’s currently asleep in my arms, that’s all I need to know.

June 17 -073 9:33

Why does ot sound like music from the Addams family? Ugh.

Back then, the NFL Draft looked pretty weird

Definitely stay till the end of this one: "Toby, come quick. Sam's getting his ass kicked by a girl!"

Just saw a reel of this and sent it to my father not realizing he was 18 that year and his Birthday (JAN 24) was drawn as number 059. He was in a very serious car accident and broke both knees and was given medical deferment 😳 I had no idea !!!!! @8:58

I love HROT.

October 21st: 264 clearly would’ve been lucky and I’m Canadian. So that would’ve been a relief too.

I had the biggest crush on John Spencer. He was a fabulous actor and very, very handsome.

My brother was born on the 19th of January so 50/50 chance to be drafted. Scary. 😢

26

047-NOV 27
